Woods 'disappointed' by Williams remarks

Tiger Woods has admitted he was "disappointed" by comments made by his caddie Steve Williams about rival Phil Mickelson.

Williams made disparaging remarks about world number three Mickelson at a charity event in New Zealand at the weekend.

"I was disappointed to read the comments attributed to Steve Williams about Phil Mickelson, a player that I respect," Woods said in a statement. "It was inappropriate. The matter has been discussed and dealt with."

Mickelson has also been scathing of Williams, who has served as Woods' caddie since 1999.

"After seeing Steve Williams' comments all I could think of was how lucky I am to have a class act like Bones (Jim MacKay) on my bag and representing me," Mickelson said in a statement.
